When the tide is high, a large part of the beach gets covered, and you'll miss out on the best walking areas. Aside from that, it's a great place for a picnic or just hanging out with friends. There's plenty of open space for volleyball, frisbee, or whatever games you want to bring. Beautiful scenery and a relaxing vibe all around--definitely worth a visit!

I was searching for somewhere to take my dogs for a walk and found this park through Yelp. It's…read moresuch a great spot to enjoy lunch and a view. The park itself is pretty big, a nice large lawn with picnic tables and plenty of space to set up a picnic on the grass. Most people seemed to be enjoying lunch in their car or on the grass or next to their cars. A few folks set up their lawn chairs and enjoyed the sunshine but point is, theres a lot space to enjoy the park however you want, it's pretty great! As for dog walking it wasn't a large area for dogs to roam around, dogs must stay on leash or you risk a fine according to the signs there, but it's still a nice area to bring your dog to while you enjoy the view. I had seen pictures of dogs in the water so I knew there had to be a trail somewhere. The lawn has a few levels to it and a lot of grassy spots areas to hang out in between the bushes and off to the left we found a dirt road. The signage was spray painted so you cant read it and the path looks pretty used so we went down it and came to the traintracks. We crossed those and found the beach where further down we saw some other people. Our dogs loved it, they got to enjoy the sunshine, roam on the grass, walk around and swim! We definitely plan on coming back just to enjoy coffee and a view, or have a nice lunch date, watch the sunset, theres quite a few fun possibilities here!

Followed signs forever for beach access....and then almost missed it…read more There were some definite pluses....bathrooms not porta potties. Small play ground for kids, and of course the beach. It was a gorgeous day, it wasn't too crowded, just a few families with their surf boards, kites, picnic packs, etc. Downside...there was a warning not to touch the water or wet sand that was under the little bridge because it was full of bacteria, etc. That was a big turn off!!! The beach consisted of mostly drift wood...which was kind of cool, and you could see where people had made a fort out of it. It wasn't a huge beach as far as sand, maybe when the ride goes out? It wasn't the greatest beach ever...wasn't the worst...DEFINITELY 100% better than Possession Beach that we tried. We were able to get out and sit in the sand for a bit. Would've been nice if there wasn't so much dog poop in the sand!!!

I love summer in the north west with its long nights (doesn't even get dark til about 10 30 pm), beautiful sunsets and gorgeous summer weather. The Sunset Cottage makes it even better! It's right on the water overlooking Puget Sounds Useless Bay. In low tide you can even go clam digging! It's a private beach so you can build a bonfire with drift wood and enjoy the beach even at night when it can get chilly. The cottage itself is beautiful. It has one main bedroom and a smaller kids room as well as a fold out couch in the living room. The bed is super comfy with soft, high thread count sheets. There's extra Blankets and pillows in the closet if you want them. You don't need to bring anything except your clothes (bring a coat) and some food if you want to cook. The little kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans and plates and utensils. It's also really close to Langley, a quaint artist town with a cute movie theater and lots of glass blowers and restaurants and bakeries. I recommend checking it out when when you're there. About a 15 minute drive. Overall my experience was very pleasant and I can't wait to go back. 2 thumbs up from me.

There are limited parking spaces available, and you have to pay for parking from 8am-8pm. The first hour is $2.25. Pretty reasonable for the lighthouse, view, park to walk the dogs and clean public restrooms. The lighthouse was closed when we visited. From the signs, it looks like it's only open through September, so we just missed being able to go inside the buildings and gift shop. The grounds are kept so nicely...lawn edged, and beautiful flowers, some still in bloom when we visited. Overall a very cute and quaint lighthouse. Would highly recommend a visit!

Stayed at one of their house rentals through VRBO and I'm very disappointed with their lack of…read morecustomer assistance when after we stayed at their vacation spot on Whidbey Island for a week and contacted them about our experience, they made excuses and are trying to charge us more money! Everything I contacted them about, they just dismissed. Our review was not the only one to state that their listing was misleading. They state it's beachfront but it's not. You have to walk across the street and once you get to the beach there is no place to sit , there's too many logs on the beach and the two chairs they do have out there actually propped up on the logs so there's no safe way to crawl up there unless you're Spiderman. The house we stayed at on Whidbey Island was dirty. We felt it was important to share that with them because if they're paying a cleaning service and assuming it was clean, it was not and I think it was important to let them know that. The main place to sit in the house is on the couch in front of the TV and it was so dirty that they had tried to cover it with a big blue blanket. It wasn't a sofa cover that could've covered the sofa it was a blanket that kept falling off. It just didn't seem very professional for a rental house. And for what they charge daily they should provide a nice clean couch or perhaps cover the couch with a fitting couch cover that's not going to fall off like a blanket every time you sit down on it. They did say that the previous tenant had messed up the couch, but you think they would have replaced it before renting it again or lowered the price of the rental and showed a picture of the couch so you know what you were going to have to sit on while staying there. They didn't apologize for this, they didn't change their listing or their photos for true representation of this property. We did appreciate that it was dog friendly, and that the kitchen and laundry facilities worked. The neighborhood was nice for the most part with beautiful flowers everywhere and bunnies. One of the neighbors was really rude to us but we tried to make the best of our stay. The most breathtaking view is not from their house nor from the beach but when you pull into the neighborhood onto the street at the top of the hill. It is gorgeous. The pet fee they charge is $65. And we paid that. We left the house in the same condition we arrived. Now they're trying to charge us another $65 pet fee a month later because we left a honest review of our experience.
